Lauren Corman is an environmental sociologist who teaches in the areas of environmental thought, contemporary social theory, and critical animal studies. Her research centralizes anti-racist, anti-colonial, queer, and feminist understandings of social relations within the more-than-human world. Broadly, her scholarship investigates agency, resistance, and the subjectivities of oppressed groups. Corman is particularly interested in coalition-building for social and environmental justice movements and links her work to larger anti-capitalist analyses and struggles. She has hosted the radio show, Animal Voices, for a decade and has published essays, including 'Trauma Möbius Strip: PTSD, Animal Research, Oak Ridge Prisoner Experiments,' featured in Kelly Struthers Montford and Chloë Taylor’s collection, 'Building Abolition: Decarceration and Social Justice' (Routledge, 2021). Currently, she is working on a text exploring cultural colonial histories, particularly concerning vilified animals.
